RUSSIANS PURSUING AUSTRIANS Continue Aitacks on Reangard. GERMAN FLANK MOVE IS NOT SUGGESSFUL General Rennenkaript Succeeds in Retiring From tha Field in Good Geder, London, Sept. 19.—Official Russian communications report that along the whole Russlan front the pursuit of the Austrian rear guard centinues and that Sandomir, in Russian Poland, fifty-one miles southwest of Lublin, has been taken. The Russians also claim to have taken the strongly for- tifled bridge at Krozeshow, on the San river, which they crossed on the heels of the Austrians, and also took possession of the town. Near Jaworow, in Galicla, thirty miles northeast of Przemysl, the bag- gage trains of the Sixth and Four- teenth Austrian corps, thirty guns, 5,000 prisoners, and artillery stores were taken, according to official ad- vices. 2 The Russian advices report only “unimportant skirmishing in East Prussia.” - No Change in Situation, There is nothing” to indicate any material change in the situation in the eastern zone. Advices would in- dicate the armies of Austria still are trying to unite at Cracow, while the Russlans under General Rennenkampt are holding the Germans at bay along the frontier of Russian Poland. Berlin acknowledges that while Gen- eral Hindenburg’s brilllant and dar- ing move across the border lakes was successful in driving back Gen- eral Rennenkampf's forces the Rus- slans were not completely outflanked and the previous East Prussian vie- tory against the Russians was not du- plicated, as the Russian. general re- tired in good order, saving his artil- lery. There is a lull in the operations in Galicia, where the victorious Russian armies evidently are moving in an ef- fort to cut off the retreat of the Aus- trians toward Cracow. Advices received in Rome from Montenegro declare that Monfenegrin troops gradually are approaching Sa- rajevo, Bosnia and Mostar, capital of Herzegovina, forty-seven miles north- west of Sarajevo. There is no official confirmation of these reports. Seeks Ald for Belgians.
